Hey guys!

Hoping to find some help after scouring old threads and getting no where.

Car Info
2010 E90 328i
N52 engine
Manual gearbox

INSTA Screenshot: CarVIN

Back in Dec 2023 on a normal commute home, as I approached my driveway the dash went crazy(rpm/speedo bounce) no lunge from the car or anything. I immediately put it in neutral and turned off the engine. It has not started since.

Initial Scan Codes
Initial Codes pt. 1

Initial Codes pt. 2

After clearing the codes these returned
Error Codes

Of those codes;

00A8AE - Expected, LED bulb
00A8AF - Expected, LED bulb
00A069 - Been around since I bought the car

002E85 - Sporadic, clears and sometime returns other times does not

Problem Codes;

002ACB - DME master relay, activation
002ACC - DME master relay, shift delay
005E19 - Engine management: interface

Logically these seem to be the root cause for the no-start issue. I did try to do some troubleshoot using help from various threads but none of the troubleshoot steps/diagrams seem to be 1:1 to my car which creates doubt for me.

I have INSTA+ so I can grab specific screenshots if it is helpful!

I am more than happy to start from scratch and hope to fix this! Any/all help is appreciated!

Oh! I did find this this thread helpful but was not able to follow 1:1 so dont know if my testing was done correctly.

Does the car cranks but no start OR The car just clicks and no cranking? The answer to this question will help which route to take…

Hey GoRomeo it cranks strong but does not give any signs of actually starting
